Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 3 stalks lemongrass, trimmed and chopped (see tip)
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 1–2 Thai chiles, chopped (1 for medium heat, 2 for spicy)
- 1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tsp fish sauce, optional
- 1 tsp ground turmeric (TRY: Simply Organic Ground Turmeric)
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 1/4 tsp sea salt
Preparation
In a high-speed blender, combine all ingredients and process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate up to 4 days.
Tip: To prepare lemongrass, trim the top and base of the stalk, using the bottom third. Peel off the tough outer layers and pound with the base of a chef’s knife to soften, then chop.
